We got a great pyranees, but I"m not sure I"d recommend that breed. We didn't have a breed in mind, we were looking for temperament.
Spice is perfect for the task because she was severely neglected and adores attention. However, she is still a great pyranees and they don't normally follow commands. She is pretty forceful with her love, so it's good for jamesen. He needs that when he's in a meltdown, and she sleeps in his room at night. But basically anything else, and she doesn't do it well, lolol
Look for a lab or a labradoodle. THose are generally good breeds for support animals
